The Righteous of Rwanda and their Universal Value
An appeal for genocide prevention based on the memory of the Righteous
Damas Mutenzintare Gisimba, the director of an orphanage who saved more than 400 people from the interahamwe militia
Between April 6 and July 16, 1994, the Hutu criminal extremists systematically slaughtered a million citizens from the ethnic Tutsi minority within three months: their only fault was they belonged to a different ethnic group. To the indifference of the international community, there was one murder every ten seconds. In such context, many executed orders: they killed, raped, and tortured.
Yet a few brave people chose to oppose the atrocities and, by denying the logic of genocide and putting their lives at risk, to save other human beings.
